Product Description

Product Description
All day long the baker's cat toils in the bakery and all night he is expected to catch the mice that run riot in the storeroom. If he doesn't catch any mice, the beastly baker tells him, he won't get any food. Too exhausted to chase after the cheeky rodents, the baker's cat becomes thin and sad and weepy, until the mice take pity on him and together they concoct a clever plan-

From the Back Cover
The delightful tale of a beastly baker, a hard-working cat and a rabble of rude and frisky mice . . .

'Posy Simmonds is a beautifully confident draughtsman, with a hand that matches her penetrating eye' Quentin Blake in the Financial Times

4.0 out of 5 stars Love the attention to detail, 21 May 2005
By Helen MacDonald (Godstone, Surrey) - See all my reviews
Since acquiring this book, my 4-year old has insisted on having the "Cookery Cat" (his words!) read to him every single night! He loves the cheeky names the cat is called ("mangy fur-bag) and the mice running riot in the storeroom and feels sorry for him when he has a teeny weeny fish for breakfast. It's a really lovely story about getting one-up over the baddies!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful story of cat and mouse teamwork, 17 Jan 2007
By R. Singer "ontheshelf" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I got this out of the Amazon box yesterday evening after my 4 year old had gone to bed. This morning I showed him the new book and then found myself having to read it over and over for the next half hour through breakfast until we left for school. He loves the language and was soon chanting the mices' tail-making poem. He also loves those classic detailed Posy Simmonds drawings, pointing out to me how the snake works, the smallness of the meagre fish in the cat's dish, the cat's fur all standing up when he is threatened with being turned in to mittens - it is choc full of things to look at and talk about.

I honestly can't recommend it highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real favourite, 24 Jan 2006
By rowena moore (Ashurst Wood, W Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baker Cat (Paperback)
My four year old daughter loves this again and again. Quirky story, gorgeous expressions, a sensible moral and some very cheeky mice. Lots of little person reading fun in the text and illustrations and a happy 'just' ending. Wouldn't we all like to shop at this bakers?!

Being an American living with a culture overly concerned with political correctness, I found Baker Cat not only adorable but refreshingly irreverent. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars We all love Posy!
Charming, lively, rather slight: do I detect a minor problem in not quite matching the book either to the grown up or elderly (I am 73 ...) or to a particular age of child? Read more
